Economy and Community

Property and Theft.

Another example of a dominant paradigm struggling with a community setting its own ethics.

Human society is in the grips of a huge pyramid scheme. It's called capitalism: Those at the top of the pyramid -- those with the most capital -- make more capital.

Those at the bottom make nothing.

The market model sets a cost on an intangible, whatever it thinks we can stand.

The market now does not tolerate this. It stands for nothing.

Economists are scratching their collective heads asking how to make money from the digital economy.

The truth is, there is no digital economy. It's a digital community. It fosters trade while resisting capital.
